The Newcastle boss admits Geremi is one of the first names on his teamsheet.
Keegan: "He's a real good man to have around your club. I know from talking to people that he got in the team and was made captain after he signed in the summer.
"Then he had a couple of bad games and found himself out of the team. So there was that in mind when he came back from the Africa Cup of Nations.
"I had a look at him and thought, 'Is he a winger or is he a full-back?'. And everything I saw on the training pitch made me say, 'I have to find a place in the side for him'.
"He is so experienced and his delivery from set-plays is fantastic. He got himself a clever goal against Spurs and I was delighted for him."
